Yeah you have every right to feel disappointed. I didn't see any bad behaviour looking over it, although to be fair I'm not too familiar with the OT section as I avoid it.

Cool, I was just a bit lost.

I am chosing not to say anything in public as we have some OT members here and it wouldn't be fair for things to spill over.

I can only direct you to OT's off topic section for more info poita.

?

Just look at it this way ... OT's loss is FR's gain! And your gain, too. Good luck!

I'm just totally disappointed right now.

It's probably just me. I'll be on eggshells for a few weeks after today.

No worries! it's easy! Watch this ... "!@#$%^&* %$# @^%$& !" ... ... *taps foot*... "$%@# $#% !" ... "waits longer* ... ... *hums to self* ... ... See? Nothing! So go for it!

I'm actually kind of fearful of using the shoutbox now. I hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks heavens for FFAudioSource()! ****ing DTS Express mono...

I can't decide if this is brilliance or lack of ideas. But looking at the old school workmanship, I'll go with brilliance.

Thanks for the heads-up! I watched my Dark Crystal BD only a week or so ago. Let's hope the series is worth watching.

I didn't know they were doing a Dark Crystal TV series on Netflix: https://youtu.be/OGzVYyV_Jsg

Anyway... what grain plate would be recommended for 70mm?

Never mind, I think I'm getting the file.

What's the catch? (Note that I tend to avoid torrenting sites like the plague, personally.)

A quick search with that file name brought it up, and more, at various sharing sites. There are quite a few grain variations available, of [I'm guessing] lossless video files [200MB each] to merge into your footage: fine, course, clean, dirt, hair, flicker, etc.

There is a big free grainplate pack available some where but I don't remember where, with Kodak grainplates which look very good too.

I don't remember the source, as I downloaded it years ago, but I am using something with filename of "07-COARSE_CLEAN.mov"

For animated films, which grain plate would you swear by?

Generated grain will never beat real grainplate in my opinion.

You should propably find just grainplate that fits you, there are plenty available online. Most of them are in 1080p/2160p, i'd Spline36Resize it do video resolution and then overlay.

Supposing the grain plate I want (as a general rule, same stock as used for the film being restored) isn't available at the size I want, what settings would you recommend for the GrainFactory3 plugin?

Jeez RIP Chris Cornell

Avoid fake grain; find real 35mm grain plates instead - there are some free!

Test: Predator Ultimate Hunter...

I'm not yet sure what to use for testing and comparison purposes, though.

I might use it for my projects, depending on how well it works.

Found a nifty DIY grain script: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/GrainFactory3

^ ^ ^ ^ "35mm" + "alien" = : O http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/NJQAAOSwax...-l1600.jpg

And Manhunter... I'm so jealous. And ID4 on July 4th on 35mm... I wish they had shown me THAT when I went to see "Resurgence"!

I'm tempted to go to one of the 70mm Aliens screening. I'd also love to go the the Mann-a-thon to see The Keep

Search on ebay for Alien 35mm Slide. I wonder where these originated from.

Stop making me spend money!

Another legend leaves us. RIP

RIP Powers Boothe. A favorite character actor of mine. Wolverines!

just for you to know: https://static.mydealz.de/live/comments/...924271.jpg

Lol that was awesome!

Thanks for the heads-up on their new release! Grab the new manual, too. I hope they improved the interface (you know, like for a video game -- easy to learn).

Anyway, regarding the new public beta of DaVinci Resolve, Resolve 14, would laptops be able to do more than with Resolve 12.5? Or would I still need a desktop for color grading purposes?

I swear by ffmpeg. Not really an AIO solution to anything, but, hey, better than freaking codec packs.

Actually. What Poita said. I was just trying to be nice. My experiences with codec packs have left me with the feeling that codec packs should be avoided. I use ffmpeg once in a great while but it's portable and doesn't affect the whole system.

LOL! Just read those extra pages and found someone familiar! ... Never mind ...

@ AntcuFaalb - Google brought up http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Blade-R...34/page/17 . (Looks like OT keeps losing it's posters w info. Still, read a few pages for leads.)

Semms as if it is something like multiple Anti Virus Softwares...

Absolutely do not install codec packs, nothing but trouble really.

Mhm.. very valid argument.. due to the fact that the PC is not for.. deep encoding.. maybe a DVD I own for use on my mobile phone or a networked media tank.. but no really heavy encoding.

I'd say not until you find yourself needing it. For playback just use vlc. I currently have only lags and x264/x265 installed for capturing and encoding etc.

So... new PC... should I install a codec pack.. or not?

I did, but not as much as some of the other alien films. AC is way better than Prometheus!

Did you like Prometheus Valeyard?

I just saw Alien Covenant ... WOW, incredible! Highly reccomended.

RIP Michael Parks

i think it's gone the way of the dodo. Aside from the older color-timing, which can be found on the early DVDs, I don't remember anything special about it.

Does anyone here have the 15GB or so 1080i broadcast capture of Blade Runner from 2006?

Didn't help that it was a double-sided disc.

Worse, it wasn't as obvious to me as the 2002 release of My Fellow Americans in 1997 packaging turned out to be, even when I looked at the physical disc's inner ring after the fact.

See, the DVD I got... it's a 1999 release in 1997 packaging.

OK, the actual master dates and times for the 1997 DVD of Bonnie and Clyde, both fullscreen and widescreen sides, are gonna be needed real soon from someone, because now I'm trying to figure out what the actual first WB DVD releases were, and Bonnie and Clyde is sometimes said to be one of the first.

That's sad . I was excited to see it but the reviews are all over the place

saw it yesterday in Oz. It was a bit disappointing

Just to let you American fellow to know that yesterday Alien Covenant has been released in the Italian theaters... hope to watch it today!

Happy to see you around here again, poita... sorry for everything happened lately, hope future will be brighter.

Sorry for everyone waiting on replies from me, my VDSL modem has died, I'm looking to buy a replacement, restricted to free internet at the town library at the moment!

^ ^ ^ Definitely, do NOT try to think through that whole Smurfs thing. :-O

What!? What the smurf are you talking about!?

"oh... Yeah... Give me the smurfs..."

Somehow... This sounds... naughty...

I can't wait to get 53GB full of Smurfs...

I don't think AACS2 has been cracked. It was probably leaked by someone who handled the disc before it was encrypted for retail.

It's the only 4K-compatible gaming computer I could find at my local Best Buy (both of them), anyway.

I say it's about time! OK! Time to consider getting an Alienware Aurora as our next restoration PC!

Thanks Chew

Given what I've read, I'm fairly sure it's been cracked. I'm curious to see how it works too. I think the file structure is similar to BD.

Might be, might be an exploit for that disc only.

No one is talking yet

So, AACS 2.0 is ded?

I'm curious to see the file structure. Especially how the HDR works.

I saw that

As it happens, it's The Smurfs 2. Now we have to learn how to edit another video format.

The first UHD BD is in the wild.

I happen to have a friend who lives in the Dallas area last I checked, and I just now forwarded it to him.

Guys, anyone from Dallar or Austin that would pick up this LD collection + player for free?!? http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Free-LD...r/id/53885 - if still available, of course...

haven't forgot about that Alien....what happened with that?

after what went down with my site I took some time off but have started a new one

it is indeed I HDVinnie

Found the colour timing between these frames from two separate trailers interesting. I'm not fussed about the armpit issues lol http://epicstream.com/news/Wonder-Woman-...arner-Bros

Thanks MrBrown for the link! Will look at that later

I just got hold of the original Aliens THX DVD of the SE (first release). The trailer on that one looks very much like the blu-ray minus the blanket tint! Lots of cyan
